Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

ahhh Let's see what I got for ya.
"Hi"
"Hello"
"Hey"
I call them the three H's. You can remember it because of Santa Clause.
You know, "Ho Ho Ho".

I KNOW THAT BUT JUST FOR MY FIRST FEW TO GET OVER FIRST HIRDLE I WANT A DEFAULT ONE THEN I WILL START BEING NATURALOriginally posted by \O/
How about "Hi"?![]()
If you want openers, just search the forum and you'll find plenty. Some are good, some are not. Instead of having canned, default lines, try to observe the surroundings and comment on that. If you learn how to do that, you'll never run out of **** to say..Pace reality..
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
THOSE ARE GAYOriginally posted by Reagan
Capslock is gay.
"Hi, nice weather?"
"Hey, Can I ask you a question? Do you think George Bush is gay?"
"hello, your hair is gross."
"Hey your expression looks like you have to tinkle."
"Excuse me, but are you constipated?"
These are 2 different questions in the title of your post and since some of the other sosuavers have answered the question about opening lines...Originally posted by metrhoe
like a default line i can use all situations or activity like asking them a question about something like "can i ask ur opinion on something blah whats blah blah"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
WHATS THE SECRET TO THIS? TELL ME HOW I CAN B BIG PLAYAOriginally posted by superchristx
I can't believe none of you guys are telling him about the magic spell. God, it's like we finally hear about the trick and suddenly we want to hoard this knowledge all for ourselves. Won't someone tell this poor chump the magic spell so he can become a supafly pimp?
